What is a catch? A question that is often asked in reference to football has officially made its way over to the baseball diamond.
The controversy arose during a Triple-A baseball game between the Oklahoma City Dodgers and Sacramento River Cats on Sunday afternoon. Dodgers No. 30 prospect Devin Mann was at the plate.
Mann, a 26-year-old first baseman, hit a fly ball deep to the gap in right centerfield. River Cats center fielder Bryce Johnson got on his horse and tracked down the fly ball without issue.
NASHVILLE — I do not understand the mindset of Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher still trying to play coy about who will call plays on offense. He hired Bobby Petrino to be offensive coordinator for a reason, so why aren’t we getting a solid answer? Fisher is not hiding nuclear launch codes.

Veteran MLB catcher Tucker Barnhart is a man of many talents. Although, firing fastballs to major league hitters isn’t one of them. The Chicago Cubs backstop took the mound during a blowout loss against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon.
And he delivered one of the most beautiful strikes that you’re ever going to see. Did he bring the heat? Absolutely not. Quite the opposite. Barnhart delivered an eephus pitch for a strike to Red Sox batter Masataka Yoshida.
Barnhart took the mound with the Cubs trailing 11-3 in the top of the ninth inning.
Greg Sankey continued college athletics’ multipronged offensive for broad-based name, image and likeness (NIL) legislation in Nashville on Monday. The commissioner of the Southeastern Conference opened the league’s media days with an extended treatise on the need for a national policy created by Congress.
While some of the alarmist rhetoric about the threat to the “college sports model” from NIL has been comically overblown in the last two years, Sankey’s point has merit. A little regulation can go a long way without costing athletes much in the exchange.
Ashley Griggs—the mother of Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate—was shot and killed Sunday in the West Garfield Park area of Chicago, the university confirmed in a statement. She was 40 years old.

The Giants and Saquon Barkley reportedly failed to agree on a contract extension ahead of Monday’s deadline to extend players under the franchise tag, which passed at 4:00 p.m. ET.
After negotiations failed to bring a new long-term deal to fruition, the star running back took to social media to share his disappointment in a five-word message.
“It is what it is,” Barkley wrote via Twitter on Monday afternoon, seemingly expressing his disappointment over the lack of a new deal.
